    🚨 Lisa Cook is the latest Democrat “star” to blow up in their faces. Mortgage fraud. Fake scholarship. DEI tokenism. And Trump is using Saul Alinsky’s own Rule 13 against her—turning the Left’s playbook on itself. 🧵

    2/ Remember Rule 13 from Rules for Radicals: 👉 “Pick the target. 👉 Freeze it. 👉 Personalize it. 👉 Polarize it.” The Left used it for decades against Republicans too timid to fight back. Trump? He’s their kryptonite. Cook is just the latest.

    3/ Lisa Cook was Biden’s DEI hire at the Fed. Her “big” academic paper that claimed lynching stopped Black patents in 1900? 🔻 Turns out, her database just stopped counting. 🔻 The real number of patents? Up to 70x higher. She didn't bother to check her work. It was junk.

    4/ But she wasn’t just incompetent. She pulled a mortgage scam—claiming MULTIPLE homes as “primary residences” while actually renting them out. That's a crime. And yes, that's a Fed governor committing mortgage fraud. You can’t make this up. But Democrats are defending her?

    5/ And lying to banks so she could pay cheaper rates, Cook voted to keep interest rates high—blocking millions of Americans from buying homes at all. Why? Politics. She lined her pockets while crushing ordinary families to "get Trump".

    6/ Normally, Democrats would cut their losses and dump someone this radioactive. Instead, they’re doubling down—choosing this hill to die on. It’s Claudine Gay 2.0: incompetence + corruption defended in the name of DEI. They can't help themselves. And Trump knows it.

    7/ Lisa Cook isn’t just a scandal. She’s a symbol—of woke rot, fraud, & failure. The more Democrats defend her, the more they prove Trump right: ❌ Government unions & DEI hires serve themselves. ❌ They don’t serve the people. ❌ They’re destroying trust in our institutions.

    8/ Bottom line: Lisa Cook is political kryptonite—just not for Trump. Democrats can cut her loose, or they can go down with her. Either way, Trump wins. Scott McKay wrote a GREAT op-ed about this. Check it out! spectator.org/they-dont-real…
